Episode 0: Foundations

Your Healing Nature

This episode provides you with a brief overview of the social, cultural and political underpinnings that inspired the focus of this podcast. My intention in this episode is to provide you with a map to the auditory journey you’re about to embark on in Season One. This episode will address questions such as, Why this podcast? What are root stories? How is trauma defined in this podcast? What is Your Healing Nature? I go solo in this episode. However, starting next week, you’ll hear from some of the most amazing BIPOC outdoor advocates, outdoor educators, conservationists, founders of for- and non-profits, urban farmers, creatives and so much more! We invite you to join us around this digital campfire every Sunday!
